i have few questions on webkit gtk port 1- how to run the autotests - seem to be specific to mac and where to get those as they do not come with the nightly build tarball
The layout tests are not included with the nightly tarballs as they are many times larger than other parts of the source tree. Checking out the WebKit tree from Subversion (<http://webkit.org/building/checkout.html >) will give you the full source tree including layout tests. A majority of the tests are cross-platform, with a percentage requiring platform-specific expected results files. Currently the GTK+ port lacks an implementation of the DumpRenderTree program that evaluates test cases. <http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15561> tracks the need for such an implementation, but no-one is currently working on it.
2- gtk port uses pango, but internationalization (e.g. opening arabic pages) does not seem to work.
I think the GTK+ port may lack the "complex" code path needed to correctly support languages such as Arabic and Hebrew. It does not currently use pango in the text rendering process, though I do recall seeing a patch floating around to do just that. I would recommend that you check Bugzilla for an existing bug on this issue or file one if needed.
